Vecais turns 3! ...er... I mean, 2!

Yes, Vecais made his way beyond prime numbers this weekend past, with a family celebration and a bit of birthday-honouring on the actual day at home, as well. Mamuks was pretty convinced that it had only been 2 short years since that particular watermelon went shooting from her loins, although others did their best to convince her otherwise. Nanny, for example, gave Vecais a card that said "You're 3!", while Vecais, when asked was (and still is) exceptionally adamant that he is "tris" (three).

Here are a couple of snaps from all the festivities:

Here, Vecais arrives at his party looking slightly more like "18" than "3." (Don't worry, my friends of animals! It's not real leather!)

While Vecais tears into his loot, Mudzuks and Kaiva help Nan assemble gingerbread men.

While Mamuks teaches Vecais to play with matches , Mudzuks eyes the ladybug cake wistfully...

Vecais ready to show off how many girlfriends (or boyfriends, or should we just say "special friends?") he has (None, by the way).

Two days later, Hugo inspects the construction of his birthday throne (Papuks' late night workmanship)

(Had to include this pic, as Papuks was very proud of the "backlit effect" of Hugo's birthday throne)
